Hi all-
Thanks for the awesome wealth of information-this forum has helped me out more times than I can count! So, I pulled a bonehead move yesterday with my new (to me) AT&T S5 Active - I'm fairly familiar with using Odin and read what I later found to be the outdated root method and unfortunately soft bricked my phone...I started out with a totally stock phone and followed the instructions here - http://ift.tt/1qJEcTw - to try to downgrade my phone from the most current 5.1.1 PB5 firmware to NE4 in order to use Towelroot. As I did more research I found that the later 5.1 updates prevent downgrading...Odin still allowed me to push the NE4 firmware but now my phone only boots into recovery. I've tried a number of .zip recoveries and later (but not PB5) kernels through Odin but I either get kernel mismatch or other errors and can't get it to boot. Now that I know this phone can't be rooted (which seems crazy to me...thanks Samsung!) I'm just wanting to get it back to stock so I can give it to my Dad and get him off of his Lumia - does anyone have a stock ROM that would work or any ideas how to get back up and running? I'm not finding any newer firmware out there and any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
